[edit] UNDERSTANDING LAW
An introduction to the English legal system. This edition includes sections on Pepper vs Hart, the development of nervous shock liability, the criminal justice system and the implications of the Runciman Royal Commission.
This introduction to the law has been written to provide readers with a better understanding of this academic discipline and aims to develop a critical view of the institutions, processes, and materials which comprise the English legal system. However, Understanding Law is not just a simple exposition of the English legal system. It also attempts to place legal study within a broader framework of enquiry which tackles the evaluation and explanation of legal decision-making at all levels. Major revisions have been undertaken to reflect the increasing importance of both public and EC law; and to cover the Woolf reforms and reforms of the civil justice system, as well as developments in judicial review. The effect of the incorporation of the ECHR into our domestic law and recent developments in legal aid have also been considered. New sections have been written on Pepper v. Hart; the development of nervous shock liability; the criminal justice system, and the implications of the Runciman Royal Commission. This book sets a distinctive manifesto for legal education that is in line with the ACLEC emphasis on understanding (rather than passive role learning) as the key to the initial stage of legal education. It has proven to be a valuable introductory text for new law students.
